After a 5-hour long scorching race against time, the Singapore Civil Defence Force managed to put out the blaze that had erupted from an oil storage tank in Jurong Island, with around 150 personnel involved in the battle.
Amidst heavy rain, the massive inferno broke out shortly before 3pm, producing a plume of black smoke that could be seen from afar. A video captured yesterday showed the oil tank collapsing into itself — such was the intensity of the fire.
